Polish satellite firm flags EU launch dependence on US rockets
A Polish satellite manufacturer warns that Europe conducted only 8 of 324 global orbital launches last year versus 193 by the US, highlighting a strategic gap in sovereign launch capability. The claim is a single-company assessment, not official EU data, but aligns with known European launch shortfalls. This matters as it underscores EU vulnerability in space access for defense and commercial payloads.
